During a pivotal summer of self-discovery, an unexpectedly passionate connection led to my growth, emerging with comfort in my vulnerability and a newfound mantra: chi non risica, non rosica. Immersed in the beauty of the Amalfi sea, the quirks of the handcrafted ceramics, and the warmth of the culture, I was captivated by it all. But far from the comfort of the soil, I found my inspiration: il marinaio. Now, I linger in the bittersweet haze of his memory, longing for his addictive energy.
